Week #1 - Essential Question Reflection

Following each class meeting, students will reflect upon an essential question related to our work and discussion. The reflection question will provide students with an opportunity to synthesize keys ideas discussed in class, offer a personal connection or reaction, and identify the relevance for school leaders. Each response should be approximately two paragraphs in length and include specific references to information from class and/or the readings. Students should be sure to use appropriate conventions, grammar, and spelling. Posts should be made prior to the next week's class session. Each post will be worth ten points.


Reflect on our discussion from class this evening regarding the responsibilities associated with school leaders and the characteristics of those who are highly effective in their work. Was there an idea that was discussed that was surprising to you or that you found to be particularly relevant as you consider your own professional aspirations?
